Yeah, there’s people I work with who complain that they don’t get paid enough to cover their own rent, and in the next breath they brag about their bar-hopping and fancy pedicures.
I’m trying to pay down my medical debts and build a house, and somehow I do so on less than they complain about.
Try to explain the concept of “pay yourself first” to these people and they will look at you like your from another world.
Financial ignorance is rampant in this country. (and is a big part of our problems).
